We randomly selected 1,500 patients with thyroid pathology from our cohort for model development and an additional 100 for testing. We then divided the cohort of 1,500 patients into training (70%) and ...

If necessary, ultrasound of the thyroid gland was performed, and the ACR TI-RADS scale was used to identify focal pathology [25].

The ultrasound machine used was a Voluson E8 from 2011 and the examinations were carried out by two radiologists and two experienced sonographers. The parameters studied were sociodemographic data; ...
